Definitions
- the invention relates to a photodiode, like an photovoltaic (PV) cell or photodetector (PD), and light emitting device comprising, between the active layer and an electrode, a hole selective layer (HSL) for modifying the work function of the electrode and/or the active layer, wherein the HSL comprises a fluoropolymer and optionally a conductive polymer, and to a composition comprising such a fluoropolymer and a conductive polymer.
- PV photovoltaic
- PD photodetector
- PDs optoelectronic like PV cells
- These devices are typically composed of several layers, including a photoactive layer which absorbs light from a natural or artificial source and generates either electron-hole pairs or excitons which are converted into electricity, and which is situated between an electron collecting electrode and a hole collecting electrode.
- the active layer in a PV or PD device is usually composed of at least one material, a semiconductor.
- the semiconductor acts as a photon absorber, forming an exciton. This exciton migrates onto the interface. After exciton separation, the holes are transported to the hole selective electrode and the electrons are transported to the electron selective electrode.
- the device usually also includes one or more further layers between the respective electrode and the active layer.
- HSL hole selective layer

Abstract
The invention relates to a photodiode, like an photovoltaic (OPV) cell or photodetector (OPD), comprising, between the photoactive layer and an electrode, a hole selective layer (HSL) for modifying the work function of the electrode and/or the photoactive layer, wherein the HSL comprises a fluoropolymer and optionally a conductive polymer, and to a composition comprising such a fluoropolymer and a conductive polymer.
Description
- The invention relates to a photodiode, like an photovoltaic (PV) cell or photodetector (PD), and light emitting device comprising, between the active layer and an electrode, a hole selective layer (HSL) for modifying the work function of the electrode and/or the active layer, wherein the HSL comprises a fluoropolymer and optionally a conductive polymer, and to a composition comprising such a fluoropolymer and a conductive polymer.
- In recent years, there has been development of optoelectronic like PV cells, PDs. These devices are typically composed of several layers, including a photoactive layer which absorbs light from a natural or artificial source and generates either electron-hole pairs or excitons which are converted into electricity, and which is situated between an electron collecting electrode and a hole collecting electrode.
- The active layer in a PV or PD device is usually composed of at least one material, a semiconductor.
- The semiconductor acts as a photon absorber, forming an exciton. This exciton migrates onto the interface. After exciton separation, the holes are transported to the hole selective electrode and the electrons are transported to the electron selective electrode.
- The device usually also includes one or more further layers between the respective electrode and the active layer. Thus, it has been observed that the presence of a hole selective layer (HSL) between the photoactive layer and the hole collecting electrode is beneficial for the operation of the device, as it enables modifying the work function and better matching the work function of the active layer and the electrode.
- Typical HSLs known from prior art may comprise for example materials such as a metal oxide, like for example, ZTO, MoOx, NiOx, WOx, VxOy, an inorganic salt, like for example bismuth selenide and copper iodide, a conjugated polymer electrolyte, like for example PEDOT:PSS, a conjugated polymer, like for example polytriarylamine (PTAA), a fluoropolymer, like for example Nafion®, or an organic compound, like for example N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'diamine (NPB), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD).
- For industrial applications, a conductive polymer like poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is usually preferred due to its ease of use in a roll-to-roll device manufacturing process and its commercial availability. However, this material offers nonetheless significant drawbacks affecting the device performance and stability like the following (see for example Joergensen et al., Sol. Ener. Mat. & Solar Cells 2008, 92, 686-714; Krebs et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 16883-16892 and Curran et al., J. Mater. Chem. 2012, 22, 6894-6898):
- 1) Work function: The work function of commercially available PEDOT:PSS is often not aligned with the work function of the photoactive layer. The energy misalignment generates extra stress in the PV cells overtime, resulting in accelerated degradation over the lifetime of the assembled modules.
- 2) Corrosion: The high loading of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) to obtain high conductivity often degrades the coating equipment and the electrodes and other compounds of the photovoltaic cells overtime, resulting in accelerated degradation over the lifetime of the assembled modules.
- 3) Hygroscopicity: The hygroscopic properties of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) often leads to residual water in the final device and increased water intake over the lifespan of the photovoltaic cells, resulting in accelerated degradation over the lifetime of the assembled modules.
- In prior art it has been proposed to resolve this issue in polymer solar cells for example by the use of a hydrophobic additive like the fluorosurfactants Zonyl® (E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company) or Capstone® (The Chemours Company), see for example Ho et al., J. Mater. Chem. 2012, 22, 25057-25064; Bao et al., Adv. Mater. 2011, 23, 1771-1775 and
WO 2016/142437 A1 . Another solution proposed in prior art for solar cells is to dope the PEDOT/PSS with the perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer Nafion® (The Chemours Company), see for example Hou et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2015, 3, 18727-18734. -
WO 2005/090434 A1 andUS 2006/076557 A1 disclose an aqueous dispersion comprising a polythienothiophene (PTT) and a highly fluorinated or perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer (FSA) like for example Nafion® and its use in the hole injection layer (HIL) of electronic devices, especially OLEDs and OTFTs. The examples ofWO 2005/090434 A1 describe dispersions comprising PEDOT/Nafion®. The examples ofUS 2006/076557 describe the performance of OLEDs comprising a hole injection layer (HIL) made from PTT/Nafion® in comparison with OLEDs comprising a (HIL) made from PEDOT/PSS. - It was an aim of the present invention to provide an HSL for use in photodiodes, which can overcome the drawbacks of the HSLs from prior art, and which can provide one or more advantageous properties, especially better matching of the work function of the photoactive layer and the hole collecting electrode, increased device lifetime, improved device performance, and improved manufacturing capability such as better coating quality, better wetting of the photoactive layer and/or the electrode, and better surface energy matching with the photoactive layer and/or the electrode.
- Another aim of the invention was to extend the pool of hole selective layers available to the expert. Other aims of the present invention are immediately evident to the expert from the following detailed description.
- The inventors of the present invention have found that one or more of the above aims can be achieved by providing a HSL and an organic photodiode, preferably an organic PV (OPV) or organic PD (OPD), comprising it, wherein the HSL contains a fluoropolymer of formula I as disclosed hereinafter, which is known and commercially available under the name Aquivion® (Solvay). It was surprisingly found that the use of this material allows to solve the above problems and provides improved HSLs and OPVs and OPDs. Especially, as demonstrated in the examples of this invention, the use of Aquivion® in the HSL of an OPV device does surprisingly provide a significant improvement of the device performance compared to a device wherein the HSL comprises Nafion®. This effect could not have been expected from prior art.
- In prior art Aquivion® has been disclosed for use in OLEDs. Chin et al., J. Information Display, 2011, 12(4), 223-227 discloses an OLED that either comprises a PEDOT:PSS HIL plus an additional fluoropolymer interfacial layer (FPI) which contains Aquivion® or Nafion®, or the OLED comprises a HIL with a mixture PEDOT:PSS:Aquivion® or Nafion®.

The thickness of such a thin layer or film may be preferably less than 30 microns, very preferably less than 1 micron.
- The individual layers in a device according to the present invention may be deposited by any suitable method. Liquid coating of devices is more desirable than vacuum deposition techniques. Solution deposition methods are especially preferred.
- The formulations of the present invention enable the use of a number of liquid coating techniques. Preferred deposition techniques include, without limitation, dip coating, spin coating, ink jet printing, nozzle printing, letter- press printing, screen printing, gravure printing, doctor blade coating, roller printing, reverse-roller printing, offset lithography printing, dry offset lithography printing, flexographic printing, web printing, spray coating, curtain coating, brush coating, slot dye coating or pad printing. For the fabrication of devices and modules area printing methods compatible with flexible substrates are preferred, for example slot dye coating, spray coating and the like.
- Ink jet printing is particularly preferred when high resolution layers and devices needs to be prepared. Selected formulations of the present invention may be applied to prefabricated device substrates by inkjet printing or microdispensing. Preferably industrial piezoelectric print heads such as but not limited to those supplied by Aprion, Hitachi-Koki, InkJet Technology, On Target Technology, Picojet, Spectra, Trident, Xaar may be used to apply the organic semiconductor layer to a substrate. Additionally semi-industrial heads such as those manufactured by Brother, Epson, Konica, Seiko Instruments Toshiba TEC or single nozzle microdispensers such as those produced by Microdrop and Microfab may be used.
- In order to be applied by ink jet printing or microdispensing, the OSC compounds or polymers should be first dissolved in a suitable solvent.
- Solvents must fulfil the requirements stated above and must not have any detrimental effect on the chosen print head. Additionally, solvents should have boiling points >100°C, preferably >140°C and more preferably >150°C in order to prevent operability problems caused by the solution drying out inside the print head. Apart from the solvents mentioned above, suitable solvents include substituted and non-substituted xylene derivatives, di-C1-2-alkyl formamide, substituted and non-substituted anisoles and other phenol-ether derivatives, substituted heterocycles such as substituted pyridines, pyrazines, pyrimidines, pyrrolidinones, substituted and non-substituted N,N-di-C1-2-alkylanilines and other fluorinated or chlorinated aromatics.
- A preferred solvent for depositing the OSC compounds or polymers by ink jet printing comprises a benzene derivative which has a benzene ring substituted by one or more substituents wherein the total number of carbon atoms among the one or more substituents is at least three. For example, the benzene derivative may be substituted with a propyl group or three methyl groups, in either case there being at least three carbon atoms in total. Such a solvent enables an ink jet fluid to be formed comprising the solvent with the compound or polymer, which reduces or prevents clogging of the jets and separation of the components during spraying. The solvent(s) may include those selected from the group of the following list of examples: dodecylbenzene, 1-methyl-4-tert-butylbenzene, terpineol, limonene, isodurene, terpinolene, cymene, diethylbenzene. The solvent may be a solvent mixture, that is a combination of two or more solvents, each solvent preferably having a boiling point >100°C, more preferably >140°C. Such solvent(s) also enhance film formation in the layer deposited and reduce defects in the layer.
- The ink jet fluid (that is mixture of solvent, binder and semiconducting compound) preferably has a viscosity at 20°C of 1-100 mPa.s, more preferably 1-50 mPa.s and most preferably 1-30 mPa.s.
- In a preferred embodimentof the present invention, after depositing the photoactive layer on the substrate the n-type and p-type OSC compound form a BHJ that phase separates at nanoscale level. For discussion on nanoscale phase separation see Dennler et al., Proceedings of the IEEE, 2005, 93 (8), 1429 or Hoppe et al., Adv. Func. Mater, 2004, 14(10), 1005.An optional annealing step may be then necessary to optimize blend morpohology and consequently device performance.
- Another method to optimize device performance is to prepare formulations, especially for the fabrication of BHJ OPV devices that may include high boiling point additives to promote phase separation in the right way. 1,8-Octanedithiol, 1,8-diiodooctane, nitrobenzene, chloronaphthalene, and other additives have been used to obtain high- efficiency solar cells.
